This was my first brown lamination experience and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Dean was professional and knowledgeable and made me feel very comfortable as a first time client. I found him via social media and couldn’t be more impressed with my first visit. I look forward to coming back and enjoying more services with him and already have my next appointment scheduled. Thank you Dean and Illume brow & skin studio!

I had a lash tint and lift and brow shaping and tint by Vanesa. She was wonderful and took such great care! It’s been about 3 weeks since my service and my lash lift still looks fabulous and I am so pleased! I haven’t worn mascara in weeks. The tint on my eyebrows has started to faded but they are still darker than my natural shade. It was a great experience and I will definitely go back for another service!

When I first moved to Chicago I was in desperate need of a brow guru. I was referred to Dean and have been faithful ever since! He’s a wonderful human. I love the Signature Brow treatment. I am always over the moon with the results and I leave feeling relaxed and confident after every appointment. Slayed and ready to take on the world. I could not recommend him enough. 10/10 every time.

I’ve gotten multiple services at illume (facials, lamination, brow shaping) from both Vanesa and Dean, and it’s always been a fantastic experience. They do a great job making you feel comfortable in the space, and they’re also both experts of their craft. They are great at recommending the right products for your skin and brows, too. I always leave feeling rejuvenated!

Vanesa is the absolute best! After having gone to quick waxing places for a while, to be back in the caring and capable hands of a professional felt so good! Vanesa is intentional and thoughtful and takes her time. My brows have never looked better! And the salon is gorgeous. It smelled great, was super comfortable and I walked out feeling like a different person! It is so so worth it.

Both Vanesa and Dean and amazing human beings whom I fully trust with my brows, lashes, and skin. They genuinely care about the service they provide you as well as the products they use, not just getting you out quick. I booked “the illuminati”, and have never felt more confident. Illume is THE place to go if you are searching for new estheticians.

This was the best lash lift experience I’ve ever had! I have always been anxious going into lash lift appointments at other salons because my eyes would water so much from the pulling & tugging on my eyelashes. I really wanted my lashes lifted for my cousin’s wedding, so I decided to book with illume based on their great reviews.
I was truly wowed! This appointment was a relaxing, spa experience – unlike anything I’ve had before! Dean was so patient & gentle (and a joy to chat with!) – I was comfortable the entire appointment & barely had any issues with my eyes watering. Highly, highly recommend going to see Dean for a lash lift!

I’ve been going to illume for a while now, and I couldn’t be happier with my results! I love the new Environ products for my rosacea. I’ve been getting monthly facials here for about 4 months and have seen a significant improvement in my redness, texture, and overall skin health.

The calm ambiance of the studio makes every visit a relaxing escape from my busy schedule. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality skincare treatments!

I visited Dean for the first time today in preparation for my wedding day! I had my brows waxed and tinted and it was AMAZING.
Firstly Dean is incredible, so easy to chat to, fun, outgoing and genuinely a great human! Secondly, my brows turned out PERFECTLY. Amazing color, amazing shape and now I’m all set for my wedding day! The first shop I walked into after having my brows done the girl said “dammm, your brows look incredible” and YES THEY DO! Thanks so much Dean, can’t wait to come back!

Dean is incredible! He is very warm and friendly. I got my eyebrows shaped and tinted. I love them and feel so much more confident. His studio is so relaxing and peaceful. Highly recommend!!
